This picture, which I took on one of my trips to Vietnam, also fits into the series "Window in House Wall". Ho Chi Minh City - the former Saigon - offers a myriad of good such photo motifs. I love going on a photo tour in Ho Chi Minh City.
Towards the end of my recent stay in Vietnam, I had to change hotels. While I first lived in my favorite neighborhood Thao Diem, my last hotel was in a rather brittle neighborhood, without shops and hardly any restaurants. The sobriety of the environment is also manifested in this image of a street wall, in front of which only one person passes by (out of the 9 million that HCMC has) and the two chairs and a small table that stand around somewhat unmotivated. However, the minimal furniture is typical for Vietnam. You'll love these miniature chairs! In every local restaurant, the guests sit around on such plastic parts. Of course, this also requires correspondingly small tables.

While I was visiting Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanói center a photographer was taken pictures a girl. I asked her if I could take a photo and she agreed with me and posed for both.

A việt kiều is the name for someone who has some Vietnamese background and who decides to come back to Vietnam.
Sometimes, they don't speak vietnamese and sometimes they really have trouble using chopsticks :)
This picture is a tribute to my father.
Douc (pronounced “dook”), is a Vietnamese word of ancient origin, thought to mean ‘monkey’. Though a bit of a misnomer as they are monkeys, not apes, douc langurs are popularly known as ‘costumed apes’ because of their extravagantly-coloured coats, bearing red, black, white, grey and gold highlights. Juveniles have a lighter body colouration than adults and a darker-coloured face. Their coat colour darkens as they grow older, as their face colour lightens

This gentleman approached me and started speaking german. Having lived in Germany for a few years I picked up a little bit of the language but retained very little. He was very patient and pleasant as I found the majority of the vietnamese people I encountered.
Hi guys, I would like to introduce my latest MOC. Vietnamese fishing boat which was sunk by Chinese patrol boat last month. My effort to pay tribute to the crews and let communities around the world know China's cruel act in order to claim control of the southeast Asia region. This MOC is my attempt to try out some unorthodox techniques to achieve compound curves on the boat hull.
"Fish" | Smile on Saturday
ok... I just made that name up. If anyone knows what it really is, please let me know in a comment. This big guy was the alpha fish in an oversized aquarium in a tourist candy factory in the Mekong Delta, so I'm pretty sure he wasn't on the menu. His job was to pose for selfies (along with the resident boa constrictor).

"All wars are fought twice, the first time on the battlefield, the second time in memory." (Nguyễn Thanh Việt). From the author of the Pulitzer Prize–winning novel "The Sympathizer" comes a searching exploration of the conflict Americans call the Vietnam War and Vietnamese call the American War—a conflict that lives on in the collective memory of both nations.
